Top Producer® 8i CRM: Managing your Prospecting Activities

Once you begin your prospecting efforts, it’s important to keep track of the actions you have taken by marking activities done. You can also record the details from any conversations you have had, and schedule a follow-up call so you can ensure regular communication with the prospect continues.

Tip: Any notes you have recorded, prospecting activities you have marked done, and follow-up calls you have scheduled appear on the Prospect Activity Report. For more information on generating this report, see Creating a Prospect Report.

To record details from conversations:

  1. From the main menu, hover over the Calendar menu and click Prospect List.

  3. Compose the body of the note, and then click Save Note. Below the body of the note the date and time fields are automatically populated as well as the creator of the note (which defaults to the name associated with the account you are currently logged in as). Any of these fields can be changed by clicking in them.
